You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

About 20 minutes, if it's not already too late...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Kent and Vyyxxxiiiin get wiser their second time around and make a smart move -- U-turning the cheerleaders, which takes some guts because they're standing right there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

U-turning the cheerleaders, which takes some guts because they're standing right there.

It was smart (especially considering what happened to them last time), but damn, so cold!

They got really lucky with that train bunch-up, too.

train bunch-up

That saved their bacon, I think. If they hadn't been able to catch up there, they would have been so far behind even without the penalty, they would have been toast.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

BOO!

Fuck.

I really wish they hadn't showed the crying talking head. And stupid Mike's stupid smug face. He's going to win this thing, isn't he? Argh.

Also, I would still like to vote for Kevin Gillespie for fan favorite.

Because books.

BOO with added HISS.

So disappointing. And why didn't the vote stand for fuck's sake?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

JLo looks insane. Just like a sparkly, latina Judy Jetson. I didn’t even pay attention to Steven Tyler’s choice of blouse as I was blinded by her disco ball shirt and spackled on make up. (Why are Randy’s teeth orange?) Who did JLo’s make up? She looks like a clown. And the crack monkeys forgot to put the vaseline on the lens because she looks substantially less divine. And the kids. Does Thia have a glitter heart pasted on her chest? Oh the wardrobe and make up department is having a bad night tonight.

Top 10 night! How did we get here this fast? Oh, Ryan. Please stop rocking the almost faux hawk. You’re too pretty for all that.

Casey Abrams/Heard It Through the Grapevine/Marvin Gaye – You need to not scream this week, is what all these fine people are trying to tell you, sweetie. Hmmm. This kid can sing and he has soul, but not Marvin soul. He has Dr. John soul. He’s not a Motown style crooner. Therefore, the song never sat well on him. It’s not that he sang poorly, it’s just . . . it wasn’t the right song choice. He tried to Casey-ify it but it didn’t work for me and then the judges just wasted time and lied about how original he is and eh. Not the best way to start the show. And the pretty, pretty princess next? Gee, that’s great.

Thia Megia/Heatwave/Martha Reeves and the Vandellas – She’s 16 now. And still as boring as ever. Her voice is fine. But she’s so plastic. It’s like watching some horrible kiddie pageant. And then she forgot the words. Twice. And JLo thinks this is letting loose? This was taking a chance? Moving around like you have a stick up your butt? Get off my TV fool. You’re wasting my time.

Jacob Lusk/You’re All I Need to Get By/Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrel – OK, who’s going to sing the Marvin Gaye part? Why is it so slow? But on the real, this is the best he’s ever sung on the show. In fact, he is kind of shutting it down. Y’all, I’m loving Jacob Lusk. He put his foot in that sang. Where did the restraint come from? Wow. That was a great, great performance. And Ryan and the hugging? So cute. He’s really, really good at this.

Lauren Alaina/You Keep Me Hanging On/Diana Ross – This is a hard song to sing. And is she doing the shake off the haters speech? Ewww. You earned the hateration, Peaches. Jump in it. It’s a good little countrified version of the song. Her voice, too, sounds better than it has in weeks. She’s bringing personality and attitude. Sadly, she decided to smile through a song about heart ache and pain, but whatever. It was good. I’m kind of over this girl. She has a good voice. She can still be a country star, but she won’t be the Idol.
